"I experienced some unfriendly service during my visit. After we received our starters, our plates were promptly cleared as soon as we finished, and our main courses were served without any space in between. This felt quite unacceptable. It seemed like we were rushed to eat and leave. Additionally, the waitstaff stood too close to our table, which made it uncomfortable to have a private conversation. It's really disappointing because the food was actually lovely, but I unfortunately wouldn't choose to return."

"Oh my god, it was a year ago when we visited last. The food then was brilliant, but this surpassed every expectation. The sardines as a starter and the garlic and chilli prawns which we kind of shared were outstanding, I had the veal as my main with black olives and capers in a rich sauce, I’m still dreaming of it, the other half had the seafood pasta, he wouldn’t give me a taste as he hugged his bowl with a broad grin on his face, so took that to be a hit. Dessert I had the lightest tiramisu ever, he had I don’t know what, he wouldn’t tell me, but it was so delicious, he admitted in the car on the way home he had just taken a stab at the desert menu as had forgotten his glasses, but I’m glad he did."

"Parking is available, and the staff is incredibly friendly and efficient. They also maintain good social distancing measures. The food was absolutely outstanding—definitely the best I've ever had. If you love fish and seafood, the selection here is amazing. If you're not a fan (like my sister, who can't stand it), the options are more limited, but still very tasty. My brother-in-law and I sampled each other's dishes, as well as our sisters' meals, and everything was delightful. The portion sizes are perfect, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. I can't recommend this place enough! I can't wait to go back again and again."

"Firstly we went to this restaurant based on past very good experience, the food was nothing like the standard it has been in the past. When asked by a partner owner how was the food, I suggested “very average and not what it was” I was met with this response “well mate, that’s up to the chef, there’s nothing I can do, nothing has changed” to which I suggested it has, given our past experience. I was then met with “oh well! what do you want me to do about it” The food was dry and burnt, the king prawns are chopped in to small pieces, of which there were a tiny handle in there. The veg curry was mushy like baby food. Saag aloo like dust, forget ordering that. Given the condition of the meat, it was dry and may have been re cooked. We ate what we could and left a lot of food! When we asked for the bill it was extraordinarily high for this level of food. I suggested this was not acceptable. I was told well thats how much it is. Zero attempt to apologise, understand our opinion or make any offer to improve our opinion. At this point both partners are at the table telling us that we are wrong and everyone else that night was happy (2 other people in a big restaurant at 9pm) the partners then went on to include the other couple in the conversation for their opinion! I mean this really is the worst experience we’ve ever had in any restaurant! We eat out 3 times a week and have had no complaints in a very long time, eating all over the UK. Eventually the other couple suggested a reduction would be a fair resolution to the owner partners. Who were incapable of finding this solution on their own accord. Seriously a very disappointing and terrible experience to go through.. ruined our night out and would suggest it be AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!"

"We went to a buffet and were told it was different from others, but it turned out to be a set menu at a high price. We couldn't finish all the food, which was nice but very oily. We were not allowed to take home what we couldn't eat because it was given to a homeless person. Charging an 8-year-old £13 for just 2 poppadoms and a few pieces of meat seemed like a rip-off, even if the blackcurrant was free. Other places offer a £15 menu with more options, which is a better deal. Maybe they should lower the price and advertise it as a set menu instead of a buffet, which suggests you can order as much as you want."

"Tastiest food in Harlow. What a great evening of food, drink and service. A warm welcome upon our arrival. We were taken to our table and given the biggest menu. There was so much to choose from. We've only ever had a takeaway from here so we were super excited to sit in for a change. We were still waiting on two more people to join us but we weren't rushed which was great. Some beer orders were taken and then we had to decide on what to eat. To start we opted to share a few dishes (Chicken Satay, Prawn Toast, Salt pepper chicken chips, 1/4 duck between 6 of us which was the perfect amount and spring rolls). Then we moved onto our mains and the portion sizes are amazing. Just as an FYI they are BIG. Nothing wrong with that but just pace yourself. I wanted to order something I'd never had before and opted for Malaysian Fried Rice with a fried egg...GORGEOUS and leftovers for lunch the next day. The other main dishes included Yum Yum chicken beef and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. Takeaway has always been great but nothing beats the real thing. Everything was tasty and piping hot and the service was flawless. Everyone was friendly and helpful and super accommodating. We'll definitely be dining in more often."

"This is the second time I've been here and both times have been brilliant! Greeted at the door with a friendly smile and shown to our table with a smile on his face. Our waiter came to take our order and was also very friendly and polite throughout the whole lunch. Both times I've been here staff have been incredibly friendly, they are a credit to the restaurant! Our food came promptly and was delicious! The portions are a lot more generous than they look and we all left feeling very full and satisfied. Vouchercloud do a 20% off mains voucher on certain days which was valid on a Sunday so got £8 off the bill. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning!"

"Visited the pub a number of occasions. Have to say never disappointed, its a big airy pub, a long bar, plenty of tables and more important lots of TV SCREENS showing multiple sports. The staff are courteous and efficient. It makes a nice change to...get experienced And friendly staff behind the bar rather than the surly students at a spoons. I'd definitely recommend."

"I had a lovely meal after the weekend while on my way home. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant and family-oriented. However, I did notice that after we received our main course, no one came to check on us to see if everything was okay. I would have liked to order a drink and some extra brown sauce, but I couldn’t use the Greene King app because there were no table numbers. Eventually, I was able to call someone over, and our waiter took my drink order, but it did take some time, which was a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, that extra attention would have been nice. That said, I can’t fault the food; you definitely get what you pay for, and everything was presented beautifully."

"We ordered a take away from this place and unfortunately were very disappointed with the food/service. Our food took an hour longer than expected and arrived cold. We then began to open the food to find a long black hair in the rice. Obviously this was disgusting and very unsanitary. We phoned the restaurant as this cost £50 and we didn’t want to eat any of it. The restaurant told us the best they can offer is to refund the cost of the rice, to which we were appalled. We expressed our disappointment to which they offered us a free rice and beer ‘next time’. Of course there will be no next time as this take away is extremely unhygienic and offer a very poor experience/customer service."

"I went for a family meal with my nabbon, infant and baby for a father's meal. the dame, who originally cared for us, was too busy to take the tables for customers who still arrive instead of taking the pizza order for us - the customers who were already in the restaurant and have two young children who were clearly uneasy. I didn't want to say anything, so a really nice girl called prasanna asked if I could place the order with her. prasanna was so wiling to help and alert and has turned all the experience around herself. Thank you. prasanna, they do a good work and put the bar with their level of customer services really high. You're a star!"

"This restaurant offers great value and fast delivery. We have been ordering from this takeaway for more than 4 years. The food is always good and the portions are decent. The service is excellent, with a rating of 5. We usually order dinner, and the price per person ranges from £10 to £20. We highly recommend trying the Prawn Crackers and Chicken Chow Mein."

"This is my top rated indian takeaway, which I've used for years. Although most people use fast food apps to order, I order from their own website or go there and order and wait. The food is superb and the portion sizes are more than fair. I love the value of the 3 and 4 course banquet meals, but my favourite dishes there are the chicken tikka nan roll, sag aloo, sag paneer, and chicken dhansak."
"The meal was highly overpriced for what we received. The food wasn't even that good; the portion sizes were more suited for a child than an adult. I ordered a piña colada while I drove, and it was tiny for £6. I felt completely ripped off. Overall, I was very disappointed. "
